Neighbours having a go at me for parking in 2 car park bays
Discussion
Can’t you just bump the van on the grass when you get home in the evening?
I’m quite lucky where I live regarding neighbours and and parking.very often used to park my eight wheel tipper lorry opposite the house several nights a week.used to take a bit of rubbish if anyone needed it dumping and kept them all sweet-saved myself up to two hours not having to take the lorry back to the yard.
It helped massively that I knew most of them really well though.

I agree with you all about it being inconsiderate but this neighbour seems to think that cause they have been moved by the council that they have the right to demand everything. Nothing had been said by anyone until they moved in and they also have a parking at the back of there house where some old garages used to be which can be accessed by there back gate.

Don't you know what van you drive!? Surely that's a Vauxhall Vivaro?
I know it doesn't help the discussion, but this is what I wanted to ask as soon as I read "Ford Transit" and saw the picture

The neighbour who has complained does not require a space -is that right? So they're either being arsey or acting on behalf of another neighbour.
Politely ask them why they think they need to police the parking, and offer to talk to any car owning neighbour about coming to an arrangement that suits everyone.
Meantime check with the council.
Does the neighbour have visitors that want to park and can't?
Do you need the 2 spaces? ie do you go to work in the van and your wife has the car? If you leave you car all day while you go to work in the van that would piss theneighbours off.

why can't you just leave the van at the yard? seems like pointless confrontation unless its saving you hours in travel time.
